Hi Chris,
I stumbeled myself over this behaviour of Regress.
Here is an excerpt from the Help of Regress:
Two of the options of Regress influence the method of calculation.
IncludeConstant has a default setting True, which causes a constant term
to be added to the model even if it is not specified in the basis
functions. To fit a model without this constant term, specify
IncludeConstant -> False and do not include a constant in the basis
functions.
